Vibrant green and super trendy matcha tea — the finely ground powder form of specially grown and processed green tea — is not only a celebrity-approved morning drink, but is also one of the world's best natural sources of powerful antioxidants. With ancient roots in Eastern medicine, many modern health experts swear by its metabolism-enhancing, immunity-boosting, and even stress-reducing capabilities. While the distinct color makes matcha-based drinks a winner on Instagram, the health benefits are the real champion here.

Whether you sip the tea straight and whisked with hot water, or add the powder to your breakfast smoothie, incorporating matcha tea into your at-home daily routine might just become your new favorite healthy habit. Below, we've rounded up 13 of the best matcha green tea brands and powders out there.

We love the deep jade hue and just slightly grassy flavor of this premium matcha tea from KENKO. It's best served traditionally, whisked with hot water until slightly frothy.

Although some reviewers love the intensely earthy flavor of this drink mix and find it delicious mixed simply with hot water, we recommend beginners add their favorite nut milk and honey to the blend to add a touch of sweetness.
